Got the idea from Womens Day magazine, and had to try it. The fish are rainbow goldfish, the seaweed is fruit by the foot, the sand is crushed nilla wafers, the palm trees are chocolate leaves and peppermint sticks, the bathing suits are piped buttercream frosting, and the towels are fruit by the foot. you can't see, but behind the tree is a teddy graham buried from the neck down, and another building a sandcastle (mini marshmallow). This was so much fun to make, and everyone was cracking up. :D
